Employers want quality business graduates from quality business schools—graduates they know will perform on day one. AACSB-accredited schools represent the best business schools in the world. Only 6 percent of the world’s best business schools have achieved AACSB accreditation. Recruit the best students with the experience and skills your business needs to succeed.

  • Recruit with confidence: Graduates are equipped with the knowledge, experience, and high-demand skills that businesses need now and in the future:
    • Strategic agility
    • Ethical leadership 
    • Problem solving and critical thinking

    • Financial and technological literacy
    • Communications and collaboration
  • Connect with AACSB-accredited schools for talent acquisition, internships, research, and partnerships to ensure that curriculum and programs meet the needs of your business, industry, and community.
